Most Beautiful Katana

A katana is a long, single-edged sword which is traditionally used by a Japanese samurai. It is the most important sword worn by a samurai and was in the height of popularity between 1400AD and 1876. Katanas fell out of use when the samurai were abolished altogether as a social class.

However, katana swords are now commonly kept as collector's pieces, due to their incredible beauty and great symbolism.
